THE OLD CHAPEL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD CHAPEL sales from December 1998 and November 2003 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 1998 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD CHAPEL be worth now?

THE OLD CHAPEL might now be worth an estimated £779,899.

This is based on house price inflation of 110.8%, between November 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 110.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD CHAPEL of £370,000 on 21st November 2003. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £779,899 over the 22 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD CHAPEL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The November 2003 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD CHAPEL has not materially changed since November 2003.
